Hi Guys,

I'm new to this site.. just made this account not long ago. My reason for making this account was to get some help with a concern. Heres the problem....

I recently purchased an automatic gtt r34. Not knowing much about r34's because I'm only 16 and still on my L's. I got this r34 for 16.6k and i'm thinking of a conversion

to make it manual sometime soon. xD

After purchasing the r34 i realised that my r34 looks different to the ones on carsales. Those gtt r34's on carsales all have a fitted factory boost gauges where as mine doesn't.

For those who aren't following what im saying.. my gtt r34 don't have those three factory boost gauges on top of the aircon in the middle. I also had a look at gt r34 non turbo, and those

don't have any factory gauges. Im freaking out right now because i can't seem to find my turbo. I'm scared that i got scammed!

so is my car n/a? but on the Blue plate under the hood it says that the engine is rb25det.. so i guess it is a turbo? unless this is a fake blue plate? is tht possible?

also on the engine itself says turbo in red. The thing i dont understand is how come mine didn't come with those 3 factory boost gauges? is it possible tht some gtt r34 dont come with

factory boost gauges?

sorry about this long concern i'm just abit scared right now.. cant stop thinking about it. i love skyline! and would hate to kno tht my r34 is non turbo!.

ill postt some photos on soon.. PLEASE HELP! ME.

thankyou! (hopefullly all tht load made sense)

pics? try uploading some of the engine bay and dash, maybe its a turbo conversion on a N/A car or something.

[GTRsean]

Pretty sure all the N/A's had 4 stud hubs too and smaller brakes compared to the turbo models.

And yes, pics would help

the gauges on the dash were an option. not all gtts had them. your car should have a gauge on the dash cluster near the tacho. also only r33s and r32s came 4stud in the nonturbo. afaik all r34s are 5 stud

[cuppas]

...wait. you dont know whether yours is turbo or non turbo?

follow the inlet pipe from the airbox to the turbo.

pics!

Does your motor look like this:

Or this:

Top one is turbo, bottom one is not.

I didn't know the gauge cluster was an option. That was the only thing that i could tell if it was a turbo or a no turbo R34.

Come to think of it how can you tell if an R33 is a turbo or not.

R33 is easy as it comes with 4stud wheels and cmon if you own a skyline generally you know how a turbo works and can trace your airbox into a pipe down where the exhaust manifold is; pipes comming down to the front of the car ans back up again into the intake.

r33 NA's just have a big black plastic pipe leading into the plenum.

sorry i meant by looking from an exterior/interior point of view. Not by looking inside the enigine bay. that was my bad for not explaining.

[Johnny]

blue GT badges on the front guards are NA; turbos have red ones

[defectme. Oo SKYLINE oO]

ITS A TURBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

according to a guy at "Car Toys" he sed mine is a turbo.. it doesn't have the fitted factory boost gauges because mine is the pop up monitor ? something like tht.. apparently there's a pop

up monitor above the aircon.

he sed its rare to find a r34 with pop-up monitor. Well sadly he sed mine is broken or for some reason it doesn't work anymore. What a big relief!

but anyways ill post some photos on ASAP! got the photos ready just need to upload.

thanks for all your replies and helps! i appreciate it.

mine is the top one!!!! but is it possible to change the cap of the engine? the thing tht is ontop.. saying turbo and NEO

[cuppas]

thats just an engine cover. its held down by bolts with a 10mm head. remove and gaze upon RB-type beauty

[ScottyF]

Where do you live mate?

Are you aware that in some states P-Platers can't drive a turbo?

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

Take a pic of your engine bay and we could tell you exactly what it is.

But since you said it was a turbo then all good then. LOL!

[babyskyline]

Good to hear you worked it out and its all good.

Hope your not in the eastern states as you arent legally allowed to drive a turbo car.
